Discover Kraiburg am Inn: Smithy, Market Square and Castle Hill

Kraiburg am Inn tells its story in a range of places: at the Maximilian Hammer Mill with its machinery, at the medieval Market Square and at the site of a former castle. Guttenburg Golf Course adds a sporting dimension. When choosing a holiday apartment, consider whether local history, golf or both should shape your stay.

Hydropower and working life at the Hammer Mill

The Maximilian Hammer Mill was built in 1889, operated until 1985 and was then restored. Two overshot waterwheels drive the machinery via a transmission system. The mill also has a double forge and a large drop hammer. This makes the historic building more than just the focus: it also illustrates the direct connection between hydropower and work.

The upper floor houses a small museum about the family history of the former owners and their working lives. Visits to the Hammer Mill are possible by prior arrangement, so plan your visit in advance. Those interested in the history of technology and families will find two closely connected topics here.

Market Square, chapel and Castle Hill

Kraiburg’s medieval Market Square features a fountain and historic house façades. St. George’s Chapel stands at another historic site: the place where the Counts of Kraiburg built a castle in the Middle Ages, which was later demolished. The Market Square and the chapel offer different ways to explore local history.

The named ascent to Castle Hill also offers a practical point of reference for planning: the Floriansteig trail begins directly behind the parish church. If you enjoy combining historic sites with an outdoor walk, you can take this into account without treating a visit to the Hammer Mill and the ascent as the same experience.

Golf as another focus

Guttenburg Golf Course comprises an 18-hole course, a 6-hole short course and an academy practice area with an extensive driving range. These details describe different parts of the golf offering, from the short course and the larger course to the practice area. If golf is part of your trip, confirm current operating details directly with the golf club.

Mühldorf am Inn: a distinct cultural and natural highlight

If you are considering Mühldorf am Inn as a destination in its own right, it adds a distinct focus on the town and its culture. Mühldorf am Inn’s 500-metre-long town square is lined with colourful façades in the Inn-Salzach architectural style. The Salzburg High Fountain on the town square was a gift from Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Johannes Ernst von Thun in 1692. The Haberkasten and Kornkasten, with a courtyard between them, were built as grain stores in the 15th century; the Haberkasten was later converted into a cultural centre. The summer festival has been held every year in the Haberkasten courtyard during the first two weeks of July since 1999. Check the current dates when planning your trip.

The exhibitions at the Mühldorf am Inn History Centre and Museum explore different themes: “Everyday Life, Armaments, Extermination” presents the history of the district of Mühldorf during the Nazi era. “Lifeline Inn” focuses on people’s lives with the river and how it is used today. The Innaue nature trail offers an active way to explore the area, with 11 interactive stations. It is a circular trail, educational trail and walking path that connects the town of Mühldorf am Inn with the recreational area south of the Inn. It is suitable for pushchairs and families.

When looking for a holiday apartment, first weigh up your priorities: are you mainly interested in Kraiburg am Inn for its local history, does golf appeal to you, or would you like to consider both? If Mühldorf am Inn is also a destination in its own right, include its town, museum and nature highlights in your plans.
